Philippians 1:7 
“It is right for me to feel this way about all of you, since I HAVE YOU IN MY HEART and, whether I am in chains or defending and confirming the gospel, all of you share in GOD’s grace with me.”

The LORD JESUS CHRIST is humbly honored when we the redeemed take Him seriously at heart. His grace enables and empowers us to stay strong, remain faithful, and dedicated, in our defense of the Gospel, confirming it with our changed and transformed lives always and in every way possible.

When we make CHRIST our life and everyday priority, He surrounds us with the right people who bring us joy, love, 
peace and support as His way of affirming His faithfulness and goodness to us. The benefits of His power and His presence are enjoyed by those who have a heart for GOD and His children, for in Him we live and move and have our being.

Proverbs 4:23
“Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it.”
